RfC on the labels given to Wikiislam as "anti-Muslim" or "Islamophobic" in its WP voice
Is the anti-Muslim or Islamophobic labelling of Wikiislam—a site focused on criticising Islam—in its WP voice justified under Wikipedia's rules? The site does not declare itself as such (anti-Muslim or Islamophobic), but a Swedish scholar, Goran Larsson, claims it is so, which was followed by two others. Another source says that the site is anti-Islam, a much different term than anti-Muslim. Where Islam is the religion, Muslims are the adherents. The other 3 reliable sources do not label it as such and consider the site reliable enough to be used as their source in their criticism of Islam. The label "anti-Muslim" gives the impression that the site is like a racist site that must be banned and Muslims should avoid it, even though that is not the case when looking at its content and the site itself is managed by ex-Muslims. As far as I know, Wikipedia policy prohibits opinions—even if they are widespread—from being placed in the WP voice, even more so if they are controversial. But one or two users disagree with that and want to keep the labelling. So what are your opinions?

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding the use of "anti-Muslim" and "Islamophobic" in Wikivoice on this page. The thread is Should labels given to a website by some secondary sources that contradict the website's own statement be placed in the opening sentence in WP voice?. Thank you.
